KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 3 -- The government will make a decision on whether to build a low-cost carrier terminal (LCCT) in Labu, Negeri Sembilan after AirAsia Bhd (AirAsia) and Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd (MAHB) complete negotiations.
Transport Minister Datuk Seri Ong Tee Keat said AirAsia and MAHB were now holding discussions to avoid overlapping functions.
"We do not wish to see any overlapping projects being brought up. Once the negotiations are over, the government will make a decision," he told reporters after chairing a meeting of MCA's presidential council at Wisma MCA here today.
"I find it surprising that people seem to focus only on Labu for the project and not the KL International Airport," he added.
On the subject of party hopping, Ong, who is also MCA president, stressed the party was firm in its principle of rejecting money politics.
"We will continue with our policy of practising openness. We remain receptive to admitting partyless individuals. He or she has the right to apply for admission into the party," he said.
On the meeting today which lasted some four hours, Ong said the council would be tabling a paper outlining the transformation direction for the party on March 1 in conjunction with MCA's 60th anniversary.
"The paper is based on feedback from the grassroots," he said.
